Episode Synopsis

The New York Times published a disturbing article titled "Send In The Troops" on their opinion page last week, written by Republican Senator Tom Cotton. The paper has since apologized for printing it, saying it did not meet their standards. Pastor Andrew talks about the dangers of a lack of curation with pieces like this, how certain adjectives can clue the reader in to a certain mindset in the writer, and how the simple addition of some context would have helped the whole affair.
